The Cubs could use another lefty reliever, but this is one heckuva long shot. If Willis can adopt to a bullpen role, specifically as a loogy, there’s a chance he could make the team in spring training, but it’s a slim one.

Current Cubs southpaws:

Travis Wood

James Russell

Brooks Raley

Chris Rusin

Hisanori Takahasi
